About Unison
Unison is a for-purpose organisation that works to reduce disadvantage and social exclusion for over 3,500 people who need social or affordable housing, or who are homeless or at risk of homelessness each year. We believe that housing is the foundation on which to build a life of value but that a good life takes more than just housing - it takes place in a community. We’re also committed to building a thriving community internally for the people that work with us. We’re proud to offer contemporary people programs and benefits in line with our values, and we’re certified as a Great Place to Work.
The Role
The Operations Manager – Housing will provide superior knowledge of tenancy management and strong leadership to support a geographically diverse group of team leaders, and drive service excellence within our place management division.
Your leadership will promote teamwork, open discussion, knowledge sharing and culture building across teams, while also ensuring our renters voices are heard and we are creating communities that thrive.
The ability to make decisions in complex, fast-paced environments will be key to this role, as well as high levels of enthusiasm, resilience and positivity. Demonstrated experience leading through others (i.e. team leaders) and property management services (including an in-depth understanding of the Residential Tenancy Act) is required for the role.
In return, this role offers a competitive remuneration package and you’ll also have access to generous salary packaging, five weeks of annual leave with 17.5% leave loading, 15 days of personal leave, employer paid parental leave and robust wellbeing and capability programs as part of Unison’s commitment to being a leading employer of choice.
This is a full-time ongoing role with a competitive remuneration package on offer.
